Let  us  talk  it  over  with  you,  as  the 
great  variety  of  interior  trims  and  our 
limited  space  here  precludes  the  possibil¬ 
ity  of  adequate  description. 


These  sketches  illustrate  only  one  of  the  attractive 
interior  arrangements  to  which  this  home  is  susceptible  by 
reason  of  its  economical  construction  and  consequent 
wide  range  of  possibilities. 

Your  own  taste  may  probably  suggest  to  you  even  a 
more  pleasing  effect  than  that  obtained  here  and  with 
perhaps  very  little,  if  any,  material  alteration  in  the  origi¬ 
nal  estimate,  submitted  on  the  opposite  page.

Here  is  a  very  popular  design,  known  as  a  Swiss

reached  from  a  small  central  hall,  leaves  nothing  to

bungalow  style,  but  elevated  so  as  to  give  large  room 
at  grade  for  automobile,  laundry,  shower  bath,  dress¬ 
ing-rooms,  etc.,  on  ground  floor.  The  first  floor  plan 
could  hardly  be  improved  on  for  convenience  and 
effectiveness.  The  living-room,  dining-room  and 
study  have  beamed  ceilings,  panelled  sides,  window 
and  fire-place  seats,  colonnade  with  built-in  book  case 

and  china  closet — all  in  hardwood.  The  living-room  and  study  is  separated  by  rolling  doors,  so  that  latter  can  be  used  as  bedroom,  if 
desired.  The  breakfast-room,  pantry  and  refrigerator  closet  opening  onto  side  porch  are  excellent  features.  The  second  floor  is  large 
and  airy,  and  contains  two  bedrooms,  a  large  billiard-room  and  a  storeroom.  Note  the  spacious  veranda.  The  size  of  this  bungalow

These  etchings  are  from  original  photographs  by 
our  own  artist  and  serve  to  illustrate  more  fully  than 
words  could  describe,  the  beautiful,  homey  effect,  so 
easy  of  attainment  in  a  cottage  of  this  character. 


DINING  ROOM-PLAN  934 


The  colonnade  and  fire  place  offer  endless  oppor¬ 
tunities  for  the  display  of  individual  taste,  while  the 
built-in  book  case  and  china  closet  are  worthy  of 
especial  mention. 

This  home  could  be  easily  heated  by  steam  or 
hot  water,  thereby  making  it  an  ideal  abode  for  all 
the  year  round  occupancy.
